Episode 243
My mind went blank for a moment at what Kim Chang-hyun said.
…This life is ruined.
It was a significant word.
Of course, those words of Kim Chang-hyeon could be words that he spits out like a habit when things go wrong.
Before I fell into this world, I used to use that expression often.
But to me, who was suspicious of Kim Chang-hyun, that word sounded different.
Because it sounded as if there was a next life.
Then, Kim Chang-hyun opened his mouth again.
“…how hard I endured.”
A painful sigh followed.
It was as if he knew in advance what was going to happen.
Seeing it, a lot of thoughts ran through my mind.
Suspicious actions Kim Chang-hyun showed.
It was as if he already knew me.
The meaning of ‘thin money’ that SinB said to Kim Chang-Hyun.
And even waiting as if he expected the appearance of the evil dragon.
As I put all of these things together, a suspected identity of Kim Chang-hyeon came into my mind.
“…Are you sure you’re a regressor?”
If you think about it that way, everything fits perfectly.
In the first place, the possibility of regression is also a theory that has already been proven in this world a long time ago.
While things were so complicated in my head, Kim Chang-hyun got up from his seat.
“…Humanly, it will be different next time.”
After saying that, Kim Chang-hyeon moved on.
I blankly blinked and looked at Kim Chang-hyun’s back as he disappeared.
I wanted to chase after him, but now it was time for the battle between Lee Seo-joon and the evil dragon.
You must return to your original place before it is too late.
That’s how I went back to the original place, leaving behind the question about Kim Chang-hyun.
Kwaaaaaang One!
As soon as I returned to the scene of the incident, I saw a collapsing building.
The evil dragon that stirred the sky fired a breath of black mana from its mouth and burned the ground.
Those who could not escape
were swept away by them and lost their lives in an instant.
The wizards of the Association who dispatched tried to stop the evil dragon, but their level was not enough to deal with the evil dragon.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Save me…!”
A terrifying sight to behold.
So many people and wizards were dying before my eyes.
“…what’s so strong?”
It was already known through the original work that the power of the evil dragon was strong.
However, the strength of the evil dragon shown now is far superior to what I thought when I saw it in the text.
No, at least in the original work, I remember that the association’s wizards did some damage to the evil dragon… The situation right in front of us looked like the evil dragon was playing with them.
At some point, the association’s wizards must have lost their fighting spirit, so they stopped attacking and looked up at the evil dragon with fearful eyes.
The evil dragon flapped its huge wings and looked down at the association’s wizards.
[Humans. Do you think you can stop this body with your trivial magic?]
The evil dragon’s words At the same time, the wizards’ eyes lost focus.
He had completely lost his will to fight.
“…I can’t beat that.”
The desire to run and help immediately was like a chimney, but my fingertips trembled from the feeling of helplessness that I had no choice but to watch.
When I was watching the situation like that.
I could feel the energy of powerful magic from a distance.
As if sensing this, the evil dragon also turned its head and looked in the direction where it felt the magic.
A man holding a sword of light was approaching from afar with a hard face.
Although he has matured, he still has a recognizable good-looking appearance.
The identity of that man, who felt a tremendous sense of intimidation just by looking at it,
was 25-year-old Lee Seo-joon.
Lee Seo-joon made a painful expression when he saw the surrounding scenery that had become a living hell.
[…It’s finally here. I was waiting.]
The evil dragon, who was looking at Lee Seo-joon, said quietly.
Listening to the evil dragon’s words, I felt a question.
According to the original work, the meeting between the evil dragon and Lee Seo-joon that day
was like a coincidence.
But now, the words of the evil dragon had a nuance, as if he knew that Lee Seo-joon would come to this place.
At that time, Lee Seo-jun, who was looking around, asked with a hard face.
“…was you waiting for me?”
[Yes. I waited for this day for a long time. To meet you Seo-Jun Lee.]
Seo-Jun Lee’s hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
“…You killed so many people just to meet me?”
[Are you caring about the dead? No need to worry. I was destined to die from being swept away anyway.]
“That doesn’t sound like anything…
Lee Seo-joon gritted his teeth. Soon, a strong magic power wrapped around Lee Seo-joon’s body.
Dig!
At the same time, Lee Seo-joon’s new model disappeared. It was so fast that it was hard for the eyes to follow.
After a while, as if he had teleported, Lee Seo-joon appeared above the dragon’s head.
As if the evil dragon was taken aback by the quick movement, it flapped its wings quickly and tried to avoid Lee Seo-joon.
However, the speed at which Lee Seo-joon swung his sword was faster than that movement.
When Lee Seo-joon swung his sword in the air, a sword of light in the form of a huge semicircle was shot out.
Wow!
[The Kwaaubi
swordsmanship left a long scar on the wing of the evil dragon.
I was thrilled watching the battle.
This was the first time
I had seen the 25-year-old Lee Seo-joon fight .
And I felt a thrill that was different from what was described in the novel.
“Ahhh!”
Lee Seo-joon’s body, which had fallen to the floor, disappeared again. And after a while, it appeared under the belly of the evil dragon.
As he swung his sword, the semi-circle’s sword energy was fired at the guy’s stomach again.
Pushwwook!
[Keueueueugh!]
A large wound was formed on the evil dragon’s belly, and black blood flowed to the floor.
It was an attack with overwhelming destructive power, but because the skin of the evil dragon was so hard, it could not inflict even a fatal wound.
It was the limitation of releasing sword energy rather than direct attacks.
[…keuhuh. It’s not normal after all.]
Once again, ominous black magic radiated from the body of the evil dragon.
Then, with a huge flap of wings, it rose above the sky.
It was a height that Lee Seo-joon’s attack could not easily reach.
“…Sheesh.”
Lee Seo-joon clicked his tongue and lowered his stance as if to deal with the evil dragon’s next move.
At that time, the black mana emitted from the body of the evil dragon was gathered in one place in the form of a sphere.
The strong mana gathered into a sphere, which was gradually compressed, and then shot toward Lee Seo-joon.
It was not a speed that could be avoided because it was released at such a high speed.
Kwaaaaaang One!
Smoke rose with a huge roar.
The black smoke that enveloped Lee Seo-joon’s body disappeared as it was swept away by a huge gust of wind.
It blocked the attack by opening a magic curtain.
And Lee Seo-joon crouched down once,
kicked off the floor, and soared up into the sky.
square!
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
One of the wings of the evil dragon is cut off and it thumps to the floor! and fell
The evil dragon, which had lost its wings, wanted to fall, but black mana rose and made new wings to prevent its own fall.
It was an incredibly high level battle that was incomparable to
the battles he had seen so far .
Should I say that the level itself is different from the last time I subjugated the monster of the disease?
[It’s quite…]
The evil dragon laughed lowly.
[…I never thought I would feel this way against a human.]
A new power began to emanate from the evil dragon’s body.
The red eyes grew darker and the huge size began to increase little by little.
The same situation as in the original story.
The [Second Runaway] begins.
And in the previous life, it was said that Croas, the evil dragon, caused the second runaway and led to the death of Lee Seo-joon.
That means that Lee Seo-joon’s death is coming soon.
According to the original story, the evil dragon
will die at the hands of Lee Seo-joon, so it is highly likely that someone else intervened at this moment.
…When I was watching the battle with such tension.
After the second runaway, the evil dragon filled its mouth with mana and spewed it out toward Lee Seo-joon.
Lee Seo -jun
tried to avoid the magical guns that were fired towards him.
It was then. A strong magical grip rose up and gripped Lee Seo-joon’s feet.
…
Embarrassment bloomed on Lee Seo-joon’s face.
And it wasn’t just Lee Seo-joon who was flustered.
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to see the current situation. To use mana to bind the opponent’s feet.
…that the evil dragon had such an ability?
It was an ability that was not described at all in the original work.
at the same time.
The mana spewing out of the dragon’s mouth
bombarded the spot where Lee Seo-joon was standing.
Aaaaaang!
“…crazy.”
Watching the battle, I spat out a curse.
strong.
Even if it is strong, it is too strong.
Even if it was a different evil dragon than the one described in the original work, it was showing a different level of fighting ability
.
With that level of fighting power, even if 10 S-rank wizards gathered, I wondered if it would be possible to subdue them.
><、o o. At that time, the smoke from where Lee Seo-joon was standing disappeared, and Lee Seo-joon collapsed on the floor covered in blood. Lee Seo-joon was lying still without any response, as if he had lost his life. I didn't feel any magic power either. “…Could it be that he is dead?” Is this the end of Lee Seo-joon? Then the evil dragon's voice came again. [A blood relative of those who pursue freedom...] Those who pursue freedom. It probably means Jin Chun-woo. Did the evil dragon know of Jin Chun-wu's existence? [You have no ill feelings... But your presence is a seed that will disturb the laws of the world in the distant future...] a .. Lee Seo-joon is a seed that will disturb the laws of the world? [Now that the great current is focused on you, the fate of the world will change greatly depending on whether you survive or not. I was just trying to stop it...] After muttering like that, the evil dragon kept his mouth shut for a while before speaking again. [Don't blame me. It is the will of the world.] It was then. Powerful energy began to emanate from Lee Seo-joon's body, which did not feel any magic power. It was a heterogeneous energy that Lee Seo-joon had never felt before. [...!] Lee Seo-joon got up like a zombie. Even though he suffered damage so strong that he could not move, Lee Seo-joon's body seemed to be manipulated and moved by a foreign energy. It didn't seem like it was moving with Lee Seo-joon's will. [The one who embraces death... Is that part of the 'immortal power'...] Lee Seo-joon swung his sword. Sword energy shot off and cut off the evil dragon's wings . [Ahhhhhh... Lee Seo-joon continued to swing his sword. The sword continued to fire, and the evil dragon eventually opened a curtain to block the attack. Kwaaang! Kwaaang! Kwaaang! Explosions continued. The evil dragon held out as much as possible, but eventually the veil was destroyed. At that time, the evil dragon gathered black magic in his mouth as if he was squeezing it once again . Lee Seo-joon swung his sword again as if he didn't care about the evil dragon's movements. At that moment, the evil dragon shot the magic in its mouth at Lee Seo-joon. Aaaaaang! Lee Seo-joon was swept away by the evil dragon's magic and fell again. I could understand instinctively. that this attack was over. [Keuuugh... It's fortunate that the power of immortality is not perfect... Is it enough power to even change fate...] The evil dragon's black magic power became wings again and floated in the air with difficulty. Although the battle was won, the evil dragon also suffered great damage. After continuing to moan as if in pain, the evil dragon disappeared somewhere. I blankly stared at the empty space where the evil dragon had left. I couldn't think of anything about the completely unexpected flow. Lee Seo-joon's death showed a very different situation from what I expected. I slowly walked in front of Lee Seo-joon. Lee Seo-joon lay down with a comfortable face as if asleep. “...Lee Seo-joon.” My mind was complicated. I already knew that Lee Seo-joon had some of the 'immortal power' that only those who experienced death through Jin Chun-wu's experiments could gain. However, he never expected that the power would resurrect him in the middle like this. I am the number of variables hidden in Lee Seo-joon's death. That's why I thought that there must have been someone's intervention. But that wasn't it. There was no intervention in the battle between Lee Seo-joon and the evil dragon. ...it's just that the evil dragon was much stronger than depicted in the original story. After confirming Lee Seo-joon's death, the world changed again shortly after. I was in the back mountain of Ganghwa Island. It was a place before the use of dimensional observation. I blankly stared at the dark sky and checked the time. 9 o'clock at night. The time was the same as when the first dimensional observation was attempted. Hours passed in another dimension, but in reality, less than a second had passed. Returning to a peaceful reality after being in such a shocking situation, I felt a sense of alienation that is difficult to explain in words. [You have successfully used Dimensional Observation!] [You have achieved the 'Dimensional Observation' achievement!] [Obtain 'Ability Condition Change Ticket??)' as a reward.] [The 'Ability Condition Change Ticket' is a You can use it with a tag.] Ability condition change ticket?” It was the first form of reward. There was nothing like that in the point shop . I checked right away. [[Special] Ability condition change ticket (???)] Classification: Special Description: You can change the limiting condition of an ability by selecting a trait or skill. The power also changes according to the changed conditions. ...so it was a ticket to change the limit of ability. This is the law of this world. Some forces exert more force the stronger the restriction. For example, the tremendous amount of mana consumed by 'Rune's Binding'. Or the short duration of 'Instantaneous Acceleration'. Or the 3-day cooldown of a battle fanatic. In addition to that , it can be said that the condition that the 'Moon Protection' that I looked at last time is activated only on days when the full moon rises corresponds to this. ...Anyway, this ability condition change ticket seems to be an item that allows you to change the condition to your liking. Regressed extras become geniuses
